K /JMM ATTORNEY STANISLAUS PALIJZOWSKI; OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

PACKING AND BOXING MACHINE.

Specification Application filed June 29, 1921' To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, S ranrsnaus Pan- MOWSKI, a citizen of Russia, residing rlev' York citv, in the county of New York and State of h ew York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Packing and Boxing Machines of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

My invention relates to improvements in packing and boxing machines, and hasto do more particularly with the successive handling of the'interior sliding portions of paper or card boxes or cartons such as are usually employed for cigarettes. V

In the accompanying drawings I have illustrated in Fig. 1 in side elevation partly broken away, a preferred embodiment of my invention as applied to a cigarette packing and boxing machine. Fig. 2 is an en larged detail of part of the flattening and folding mechanism shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 8 is a plan view at a right angle looking down on Fig. 1; Fig. 4 is a view looking from right to left at Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is an enlarged plan view of part of the flap turning mechanism, and Fig. 6 an enlarged detail of part of the same.

Referring now to Fig. 1 7 indicates a stack of the interior portions of card board boxes of the character described, the same being stacked by the finger 8 which is pivotally mounted upon the shaft 10, said finger having a crank projection 11 provided with a roller 12 riding upon the face of the cam 13 mounted upon the shaft 141 so that each time the shaft 14: rotates the finger 8 is oscillated, said roller 12 being kept upon the face of the cam 13 by the spring 27 attached to the bar 11 and to the frame at 28 as shown.

Simultaneously therewith. the presser finger such as 15 is raised and lowered upon said stack, said fingers being fixed upon the shaft 16 which is operated by the crank 17, pivotally mounted to the connecting link 18 which in turn is pivotally mounted upon the lever 19 which is pivoted at 20, said lever 19 being provided with a roller 21 which rides upon the face of the cam 22 upon the shaft 23, said lever 19 being also provided with a lug 24 having secured thereto the spring 25 which said spring is also secured at 26 serving to keep said roller 21 against the face of the cam 22.

29 indicates suitable pins mounted in the of Letters Patent.

ends of the supports 30 which said supports are pivoted 31 as shown. 32 is an arm secured to tne shaft 31 and pivotally mounted at the end of thecrank 33 which has the offset 34 provided with the spring 35,the

other end of which is secured to said arm 30 and said crank is pivoted at 86 and is provided with a roller 5'7, said roller 37 bearing against the face of the cam 38 so that as said cam rotates, said shaft 31 'soseillated and is carried in a circular movement owing to the rolling contact of the roller 40 in said bar 30 against the lower surface ofthe bar ll. 'lhis enables the pin 29 to t 'avel in a clockwise circular movement so that upon the descent of said pin it penetrates into the top container in the pile 7, moving the same leftwardly until said container is taken between the rolls 4-2 which releases the same from the pin and on the next descending movement of the pin, the next box, is taken in the same order and so on.

After the pin 29 has engaged the top box of the pile 'Z. the finger 8 is thrown leftwardly and descends to clear tie way so that the top box can be moved leftwardly over the same. i3 is a presser finger with an offset 9 which serves to keep the stack 7 under slight pressure and said presser finger is pivotally mounted upon the shaft 414;. said shaft being within the bracket 45 which in turn is secured to the'slide 46 provided wi h the spring 1-? which said slide is adapted to be reciprocated vertically. 48 is a lever pivoted upon the bracket 49 at 50 and is provided with a roller 51 which rides upon the face of the cam 52 and is pivoted at its opposite extremity to the link 53 which is also mounted upon the shaft r4. so that as the stop finger 13 is raised and lowered by the vertical slide 46 it is simultaneously oscillated upon its shaft 44: by the connecting link 53 which is pivotally connected to the said lever as as aforesaid. 76 is a roller on the finger 4C3 bearing against cam 77 which oscillates said finger.

From the foregoing it will be understood that the presser fingers 9 and 15 and the stop finger 8 are normally in the position shown in Fig. 1 and while in said position the pin 29 moving with its shaft 31 clockwise descends and penetrates the top box or.

slide of the stack 7 and thereupon the presser fingers 915 are raised, the finger 9 descending clear of the left side of the top box and the stop linger 8 descending sufficiently to allow the top box which has been. penetrated by the pin 29 to be moved leitwardly until. it engages between the rolls 4-2-42 by which it is moved leftwardly into the machine.

The next operation is shown to better advantage in Fig. 2. The lip or side 54 having been previously creased is slightly elevated and comes in contact with the turned-up member 55 which throws the side of the box 56 rightwardly as shown, thus insuring the same passing beneath the presser enlargement 57 upon the shaft e8 so that as the box 7 moves leftwardlythe side of the same is creased down sharply, thus allowing the box to progress for the next operation.

Referring now to Figs. 5 and 6, and more particularly with reference to Fig. 5, it will be seen that the box is progressing downwardly in the direction of the arrow and upon reaching the position shown in said Fig. 5, the flaps 59 are lifted turning over the flap 60 of the box into position to be operated upon by the presscr foot 61. Said presser foot is rigidly secured at the end of the cam bar 6:2, the other end of which is pivotally mounted at 63 and is lifted by the roller 6% beneath the same and which is pivotally mounted at 65 in the end of the bar 66 which in turn is pivotally mounted at 67 and is provided with the roller 68 which rides upon the face of the cam 69 so that as the shaft 70 rotates, the arm 66 is elevated by the roller 68 upon the cam 69 and the roller 64 of said arm 66 lifts the cam arm 62 at the proper moment to lay over the'flap 60 of the box. 71 is a guide for the arm 66 and ,72 is a spring to keep the roller 68 seated upon the cam 69. 73 is a suitable spring secured at 74 to the frame of the machine and at 75 connected to the arm 62 so as to keep the same normally seated upon the roller 64:. From the position of the container shown in Fig. 5, the same is of course fed into the machine for further manipulation.

On the frame 78 is pivotally mounted the lever 79 bythe pin 80, said lever having a roller 81 which bears upon the cam 82 thus oscillating said lever 70 which in turn is pivotally connected to the link 83 as shown, said link being pivotally connected to the lever 84, said lever 84: being provided with a foot 85 which is located below 7 and between the pins 29 so that before said pins 29 penetrate the top box of the stack 7, the foot 85 presses upon the same to hold them in position and releases the same after the pinhas penetrated to shift the top box.

Of course it will be understood that various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the-invention claimed.

I claim:

In an apparatus of the class described, means for retaining a stack of containers in position, means for engaging the top one of said containers while retained in said position, means for disengaging said retaining means and for shifting said engaged container, said means for retaining said containers in position comprising fingers for pressing upon said containers, and a stop for retaining the same in alignment after said fingers have been removed, said fingers and stop being adapted to shift out of position so that said top container maybe moved from the stack.

in testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my signature.

sriiNrsLAUs PALMOWSKI."
